Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 194 Beijing Welcomes You: Go to Beijing for the Olympics. (Please Subscribe)
During the two months of summer vacation, Chen Yang didn't just stay at home writing.

During the summer vacation of 08, another event that caused a nationwide sensation was about to occur.

This event is the Olympics.

Although it was only July, the Olympics had already begun its warm-up.

Many foreigners arrived in China well in advance.

Where is Chen Yang?

At that moment, I said to my parents, "Mom, this year's Olympics, I'll take you to Taipei to watch the opening ceremony."

The father was somewhat tempted.

But her mother said, "Why go? You can see it on TV. Don't waste your money."

Chen Yang said, "Mom, isn't the point of making money to make life better? Besides, you and Dad have never been to Taipei, you've never even seen the capital. Don't you want to see the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the Summer Palace..."

Although Chen Yang had been to Taipei.

Last time at the Lu Xun Academy, Chen Xuewei took Chen Yang to visit some tourist attractions.

But my parents have never been there.

Live again.

Not only do I want to live a better life, but I also want my parents to experience the beauty of China.

Seeing that her mother hesitated.

Chen Yang said, "Mom, look, I've already bought tickets for the opening ceremony of the Olympics."

"Oh, you silly child, I told you not to waste money."

“What can we do? The tickets are already bought, 3000 yuan each. If you and Dad don’t go, 6000 yuan will be gone.”

"3000 yuan a piece? You're wasting money like that, you brat."

Chen Meihua stared in disbelief, took the ticket Chen Yang handed her, and said, "Where can you find tickets this expensive?"

The father then said, "Of course it's expensive. You know how many people from all over the world come to our country now. And with so many people in our country, there are only so many seats available for the opening ceremony. Don't even mention two tickets costing 6000 yuan each; I've heard from others that the highest price is 5000 yuan each. And many people can't even buy them."

Chen Yang added, "Luckily I bought my ticket early. I heard that scalpers outside are selling them for 2 yuan a ticket."

Chen Meihua stared, still unable to believe it.

After a while, Chen Meihua said, "2 yuan a ticket, how about... we sell the tickets? Wouldn't that make us tens of thousands of yuan?"

"Pfft..."

Chen Yang almost fell.

My mom's thought process is truly amazing.

The father was also dumbfounded.

However, Chen Yang was quick-witted and said, "It's too late. It would have been okay to sell them a while ago, but now the Olympic opening ceremony has registered ID numbers, which means that these three opening ceremony tickets can only be used by us, and no one else can enter. Even if we sell them now, let alone 2 yuan a ticket, I don't think anyone would want them for 2 yuan a ticket."

No matter how many times I say it, I can't stop.

finally.

Chen Yang and his father persuaded his mother together.

His father secretly gave Chen Yang a thumbs up, and Chen Yang smiled.

Between men, there's no need for words.

……

Late May.

Chen Yang saved up the money in advance and then took his parents to Taipei.

The reason for bringing it forward is...

The main reason is that I don't want to go on the opening day, August 8th.

When we arrived, the crowds were too large.

Secondly, plane tickets and train tickets are also hard to buy.

The parents didn't really have much of a concept of the Olympics; they just wanted to watch.

After the opening ceremony, you can watch one more football match.

Chen Yang also checked the match schedule for the Chinese national football team at the Olympics.

Even more ingenious.

It started on the 7th.

fair enough.

Go early and take your parents to see Taipei first, then visit various attractions.

It should take about ten days to see most of Taipei.

"Chen Yang, when are you coming to Taipei?"

Just as they were making plans, Gao Gang called Chen Yang.

"Mr. Gao, what's going on?"

"I'm thinking of organizing a book signing event for you before the Olympics start."

"How long will it take for one match?"

Chen Yang hesitated.

He needs to spend time with his parents, so he doesn't have much time.

"Don't worry, it won't take too long. It's just that 'Battle Through the Heavens' is selling very well, so it needs some exposure. By the way, 'Soaring to the Clouds' is also about to be released; I wonder how the sales will be?"

"Hehe, you printed 50 copies in the first run, and you think it's bad?"

"If the initial print run is 50 copies and they don't sell, I'll suffer a huge loss."

“I don’t care, since you printed 50 copies, you have to pay me royalties for 50 copies.”

"Damn it, you still get paid even if it doesn't sell. You're even more unscrupulous than me, a real profiteer."

"Hahaha... You'd better do what you want, you unscrupulous merchant."

That's obviously a joke.

Chen Yang would not know Gao Gang.

This guy doesn't do business at a loss.

If he hadn't researched the market beforehand, how could he have printed so many copies in the first run?

of course.

Chen Yang is also very much looking forward to it.

When his novel about officialdom by Xiaoqiao Laoshu was published, it immediately propelled him onto the list of China's richest writers.

Not to mention.

My own novel, a political novel with added buffs, is even more likely to excite readers.

even.

Takaoka had figured it out.

Online novels can achieve considerable success if they are published.

The authorities have strict regulations on the publication of online novels and do not allow large-scale publication of online novels.

"Okay, I'll be in Taipei tomorrow."

"Great! When are you free?"

"I brought my parents to Taipei for a visit. They'll stay for a few days, maybe five days from now."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

……

"So this is the Forbidden City."

"Great Wall, old man, you've been saying you wanted to come to the Great Wall, now you're here, your wish has come true."

"Son, take a picture of Mom."

Although her mother, Chen Meihua, had previously said she wouldn't come.

But when they actually arrived, Chen Meihua was even more excited than Chen Yang and her father.

Upon seeing the Forbidden City, the mother exclaimed with even greater excitement.

Chen Yang accompanied him the whole way, acting as his photographer.

of course.

When you go to Taipei, you shouldn't just visit the various tourist attractions.

Chen Yang also took his parents to eat various snacks and meals in Taipei, and even enjoyed Peking Opera in Taipei.

Chen Yang even took his parents to Panjiayuan, a place for antique hunting.

Even if my parents don't understand it, it's okay, they can still enjoy the spectacle.

Time flies.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yang took his parents to the Taikoo Li Bookstore in Taipei.

This is where today's book signing will be held. That's why I brought my parents along.

On the one hand, we've been visiting tourist attractions for five consecutive days, and our parents also need to rest.

Take a two-day break, then go sightseeing again.

another.

Chen Yang hopes his parents will see the side of him that he is working hard.

Parents have children because they hope their children will grow up healthy and successful in their youth.

Although Chen Yang is not considered a great writer at present, he is nothing compared to those tycoons with hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars.

But at least now we're doing alright, and we're presentable enough to bring some honor to our parents.

"Mr. Gao, these are my father and mother."

Gao Gang arrived at Sanlitun Bookstore early.

Chen Yang led his parents into the bookstore.

Upon seeing Chen Yang's parents, Gao Gang excitedly said, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, please have some tea here."

Father Chen Houguang said somewhat embarrassedly, "Mr. Gao, we are only a few years older than you, we can't accept the title of uncle and aunt."

Gao Gang said, "How could that be? Chen Yang and I are good brothers. I'm his older brother, and he's my younger brother. If I don't call you uncle and aunt, what should I call you?"

Chen Yang smiled as he looked at Gao Gang.

This guy's mouth is really something else.

"Come, come, have some tea here."

As Gao Gang led his parents inside, he said, "Uncle and Aunt, do you know that your son is our publishing house's number one author? With your son alone, our publishing house has accomplished more than half of its tasks."

"Ah, you didn't know your son was so amazing? You know a little bit... Come, come, let me tell you in detail how amazing your son is."

Chen Yang, standing to the side, was both amused and exasperated: "President Gao, please stop bragging."

Gao Gang said seriously, "Chen Yang, you see, this is where you're wrong. You've done so many great things, and you haven't even told your parents. Get out of the way, don't block my conversation with your aunt and uncle."

Ok.

Chen Yang had no way to deal with Gao Gang.

But he doesn't have time now.

As soon as the bookstore opened, a steady stream of book lovers arrived.

Chen Yang greeted his parents and then headed to the autograph session.

……

"Darling Bu Yang, it turns out the photos online are real. You look so ethereal!"

"Uncle Bu Yang, I am your fan."

"Don't be arrogant, Battle Through the Heavens is really well written. I want to ask when Ye Chen will actually appear?"

The autograph session lasted four hours and finally came to an end.

His mother watched Chen Yang intently, and as she watched, she couldn't help but cry.

But her father, Chen Houguang, said, "Meihua, why are you crying?"

"I'm just trying to make my son happy."

"You should laugh when you're happy."

"Yes, yes, I'm getting senile. My son is so successful, I should be happy, very happy."

Wiping away tears from time to time, Chen Meihua felt immense relief.

8 month 7 number.

Chen Yang took his parents to watch the national football team's match.

The Chinese national football team played very well today, and finally scored a goal.

Although it ended in a draw.

But this one goal kept the entire nation of China up all night.

how many years.

I won't say we won.

China finally scored a goal.

Chen Yang was also somewhat excited.

He has always been a football fan, especially a fan of the Chinese national football team.

I like the Chinese national football team, not the players; those players are terrible.

My liking for the Chinese national football team stems entirely from my love for the country.

Who wouldn't want their national football team to score goals?

Who doesn't want the Chinese national football team to break out of Asia?

But a pity.

That shot in 08 might have been the last glorious moment in the last 20 years.

After that, the Chinese national football team failed to score a single goal in any major international competitions.

8 month 8 number.

Chen Yang watched the Olympic opening ceremony with his parents.

The Bird's Nest was absolutely packed with people.

Seeing the tens of thousands of people, the parents were also overwhelmed with excitement.

What excited the two men even more was that a reporter actually interviewed them.

This made the parents very happy; it was their first time ever conducting an interview.

What surprised them even more was...

The two men's interview even made it onto CCTV.

Although it was only a few shots.

But when they returned home and learned from relatives and friends, the two men were overjoyed for several weeks.

Ok.

What interviews, what TV appearances?

This isn't something just anyone can have.

Even if such interviews seem random, it's possible that some TV stations randomly interview some viewers.

But interviews are one thing, and who gets to appear on TV and who doesn't... that's a matter of choice.

But they don't know.

Chen Yang deserves the most credit for this.

If it weren't for Chen Yang...

Tickets for the Olympic Games opening ceremony are not so easy to buy.

If it weren't for Chen Yang...

During the opening ceremony, the camera focused on Chen Yang and his family of three.

If it weren't for Chen Yang...

I spent about ten days in Taipei.

When Chen Xuewei heard that Chen Yang had come, she also treated Chen Yang's parents to a meal.

The parents frequently advised against wasting money.

Chen Yang told his parents that Wei Zi was now a little rich girl. She had been noticed by a tech giant and could earn more than 1 yuan a month even just as a part-time worker.

This left Chen Yang's parents speechless, and they kept telling him that he should learn from Chen Xuewei.

Chen Xuewei glared at Chen Yang, looking like she was going to get back at him next time.

8 month 10 number.

The family of three is preparing to return to the city.

The parents waved goodbye to BJ with deep emotion, saying, "Goodbye, BJ."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, come anytime in the future."

The mother said, "There's no such thing as coming every day."

Chen Yang pointed to the singing at the airport: "Listen, Beijing welcomes you."

"Beijing Welcomes You... This song is really nice."

"But our hometown is still better. Son, let's go home."

"Ok."

Chen Yang nodded.

the other side.

Takaoka's first printing of 50 copies of "Rising to Prominence" was officially released nationwide.
